Fantastic! - Another person keeping a Compa-Station alive. I put my Low-Band Compa on 6M with relatively little trouble. Channel Elements and retuning. Nothing like a 100+ pound radio.

Here is what I have. I recently acquired and old Motorola Micor
Compa Station and I have no idea what can be done with it. I am
very interested in learning more about it and what its
possibilities are.
Since it was free to me, I am open to just about anything but do
want to keep it and use it some how. Would it make a good IRLP
Node Radio?
Well, here are the specifics I can find on it.
Model #C73RTB-3196E
This is my understanding of what this means;
C = Compa Station Cabinet (either 30" or 41" high)
7 = 110 watts output - intermittent duty - 20% duty cycle.
3 = 132-174 MHz frequency range (however subject to the factory
design)
R = Micor Receiver
T = Micor Transmitter (Intermittent Duty)
B = Base station configueration - could be a repeater too ...
depends on how it was shipped.
Once again, better to see it in person.
3 = Factory CTCSS installed (you might call that PL)
1 = Narrow band (+/- 5 kHz deviation)
9 = 4 freq receive / 4 freq transmit as shipped from the factory.
6 = Tone remote control via a leased telephone line.
E = Production run series indicator
Serial #201C6CO288 (This is a bit hard to read on the tag)
XMTR Data CC3301
RCVR Data RCD-R106
115 watts (Says this on a tag inside)
F1 Frequency currently (154.415 transmit and receive)
Tone Remote Controlled
4 Channels (not completely sure what the other 3 frequencies but
have a guess)
Other Numbers on the unit
TRN6971A Panel Assembly, PA
TFD5644A Unable to locate, a close inspection may be able to
determine what it is.
TFD6102A Harmonic Filter 150.8 - 174 MHz
TCN1223A Unified Chassis for Base ... not a repeater
TLN5892A Chassis and hardware kit
Has the following modules;
Four Frequency control module
Guard Tone Decoder
F1 - "PL" Control Module
Stn. Control Module
Line Driver
That's about all I know about it. It served as our old Fire
Department base radio ever since I have been a member of the
Black Butte Ranch RFPD and probably well before that (Dec 1986).
I am interested in all of its possibilities, but mostly, can it be
transformed in to a 2m repeater and what might that cost?...can you
help?
